How can I donate to Pride Fund India?
We are inviting funders - philanthropists, family foundations, CSR, domestic and international foundations to commit and build an inclusive future for India’s queer community. We encourage funders to support our NGO partners located across India for their program and their administrative expenses via programmatic and unrestricted funds.

Are there ways to support Pride Fund India beyond financial contributions?
Yes, we are always on the lookout for volunteers from design, social media, and fundraising for our NGO partners.
What is the grant cycle and selection process?
